Frequent Rebooting
Jul 14, 2007
I have a server that is monitored with a system that automatically reboots if a service appears to be down. The server is being rebooted several times a month and it seems to be getting more frequent.
The server load is almost never high. It's a dual Xeon with hyperthreading and the load is almost always below 1. Practically the only time it goes high is during cPanel backup and it hardly ever reboots during that.
The DC tried replacing the RAM, but a day and a half later it rebooted again.
The server has 1 fairly active MySQL message board and 3 fairly high bandwidth sites (images and video clips), and the rest of the sites are quite small and inactive. One thing the tech said was "Apache gets a lot of traffic so I'm not surprised to see an apache restart once a month or so. You have 115 concurrent connections to apache and over 25,000 hits in the last 2 hours alone" but I've gotten reboots a few times/week.

I bought a plan from SurpassHosting and hosted my site, tenshi-dream.net. The domain name was purchased from namecheap.
Recently I noticed that most of the time, only the main page (tenshi-dream.net) can be access but not the rest of the pages (eg. log.tenshi-dream or tenshi-dream.net/network.html)
Hence, I submitted a ticket to SurpassHosting. After investigation, they replied that the cause was not them and told me to contact server2.verygoodserver.com. I have no idea why because when I check Whois database, my domain does not belong to that nameserver.
I wish to move to another host but am afraid that the problem will still persist.

i have 2 blogs with ixwebhosting.com from 1 1/2 years. from 10 days my blogs are getting attack frequently. every time i am cleaning and reporting to them. they are also clean it. but it is attacking again. They said my system has virus. (but i have latest bitdifender 2010 total security,probably the best antivirus) i also have account with 3 more hosts with many sites. everything works fine.
i am asking them why only this account getting affected if i have virus in my system.i already moved one site to another host where it is working fine now. Except this problem they are very good. So i can't left them.
if any one has experience this kind of problems, please suggest me what to do?

my friend is getting frequently 500 - Internal Error on his sites when ever he starts to get good amount of traffic at a moment, and by the time it resets to normal more than half the traffic is lost, he is using wordpress blog, some other applications not of any traffic, an IPB forum, and some other image hosting script
in total he has 3 databases used, he's not running to outage of RAM, he is using max.
70% of RAM at the pt. when this occurs, checked once long way back..
he usually gets lots of traffic to blog and image host as he posts some real good stuff..

On 11/29/07, I posted the following question, but have received no replies to date:
Quote:
TITLE: Are frequent failure notices common with VPS hosting?
We have a VPS1 account at Liquid Web ($60/month). Below I have copied just the most recent series of failure notices (clamd, cpsrvd, exim, ftpd, mysql, pop, spamd). We tend to receive these by e-mail on a fairly regular basis, accompanied by the usual message "A restart was attempted automagicly."
Since March 2006, when we first switched our web host to LW, there have been well over a hundred of them.
My question is: Are such frequent failures commonplace (i.e.: benign) on a VPS, or should I be concerned about them?
I usually check our web site after receiving each notice, and it is always up by the time I get there. Nevertheless, it would be nice to know if all these occurrences are considered normal. For example, 19 exim failures over a 6.5-hour span on 9/29/07 do seem a bit extreme.
If anyone reading this thread is technically inclined, I'd like to know what process or hardware state is usually responsible for causing such failures.
FYI, I use cPanel in my web browser to administer the site from a Macintosh computer running OS 9.2.2. I have never used SSH, and have also never read any raw logs. If I did, I'm not sure what they would tell me about this, anyway.
I should also say that our site uses nowhere near the capacity provided by our VPS1 account. We are well below the maximum HD space and monthly allowable bandwidth. The site uses only standard HTML, text include files, and GIF/JPG graphics files; no streaming. There is only limited use of a CGI script for routine form submissions, and currently there are no PHP scripts running for BBs, calendars, blogs, chat rooms, or any MySQL databases being used. In short, I would think that the site places little load on the server or its processes.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

(Note that our real host name has been replaced above with "xxxxxx" to prevent possible spamming.)
I would appreciate any comments from experienced VPS customers or technicians, as to whether these incidences are considered normal with all VPS accounts, or if they might be indicative of a more severe problem with our web host's (Liquid Web) server.
As I mentioned on 11/29/07, "I use cPanel in my web browser to administer the site from a Macintosh computer running OS 9.2.2. I have never used SSH, and have also never read any raw logs. If I did, I'm not sure what they would tell me about this, anyway."
In the course of reading a number of posts in another WHT thread, there seems to be little agreement on the possible causes. Some have suggested that (1.) there may be "no space left on the device"; (2.) we may be "out of Semaphores" (I have no idea what those are!); (3.) we may be "out of RAM"; (4.) "/tmp is full"; or that (5.) "something is wrong with /tmp permission."
When I inquired in 2006 to Liquid Web's technical support about these recurrent failures, I was told that they are normal with this sort of hosting account. We pay them a hosting fee with the expectation of receiving an accurate diagnosis, but it would be very helpful to receive some impartial, third-party input.

I've been trying to use mod_forensics – [url]-- which has helped on one server track down some one causing the segmentation fault due to trying to abuse FrontPage shtml.dll, but on another server also suffering from regular segmentation faults, this tool has not helped.
What other tools are available to track down the cause(s) of Apache segmentation faults?

I rebooted the srever
Code:
[root@server50 log]# date
Sun Jul 19 14:48:43 CDT 2009
[root@server50 log]# reboot
Broadcast message from root (pts/1) (Sun Jul 19 14:48:45 2009):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
[root@server50 log]# uptime
14:49:02 up 47 days, 31 min, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.10, 0.09
[root@server50 log]# date
Sun Jul 19 14:58:11 CDT 2009

I have a vps and I was having memory issues so I reboot my server. Upon doing that it seems to have put itself into a loop and is constantly rebooting itself every 5mins.
I checked the logs at /var/log/messages and found this:

I have compiled a RT kernel using 2.6.24 and it has been working great. All of our machines are runnin Centos 5. No issues like the previous configurations on Dual Quad Xeons 5335's and 8GB of RAM. As well as one box with Dual Core Xeon 5140's with 4GB of RAM. They have identical motherboards. My issue is that when you do a soft reboot, it doesn't "technically" reboot. It does, but it doesn't. Let me explain. It kills my ssh connection and you can't ping it for maybe say a minute or 2. When it comes back up, you get a new SSH key to login. You hit ok, and you try logging in. It doesn't accept any passwords. The server basically becomes inoperable.
The only way to solve this is to do a hard reboot. Phsyically rebooting the server.
What could be causing this? This only started to happened when using the RT kernel. Is there an option that may be conflicting with it, however our 3rd and 4th box, with the same configuration has no issues like this. Soft reboots work great.
Here is the message log.

I've had this problem for a while. My HTTP will stop functioning, so I attempt to restart it via SSH. I restart it, yet it doesn't fix the problem. So I reboot the server via SSH. I wait 5-10 minutes and the server STILL isnt up. Can't login via SSH or anything.
So every time I have to tell my host to manually reboot the server. I've had apache recompiled multiple times, but I don't think that's the issue.

I have been trying to change an IP address on a customers Linux(RH9) server and I am getting errors, Can some on point/push me in the correct direction.
I am editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and am getting this message,
"1. Quit editing this file, because another edit session is active on this file.Continuing to edit will result in two versions of the same file. The one that is written last will overwrite the other one, resulting in loss of changes. The text "ifcfg-eth0" indicates that the process
editing this file runs on the same computer. When working over a network you will not see this message, because the process will be running on another computer.
2. Recover a previously crashed edit session."
This is a stand alone server and noone else uses this server.
I have tried to use the vim rercover command but no luck.
I am more use to using pico than vi, but pico is not installed.

I'm hosting proxy sites on my vps and untill yesterday my proxy worked fine with no problems at all.
But while going trough my server graphs I found it odd that I had 0 bandwidth since the middle of yesterday.. I first supposed that this was due school's out [url]but this wasn't the reason I found out!
I tried testing one of my proxies to see if it was still working, but with any URL I try to visit I get:
The requested resource could not be loaded. libcurl returned the error: Couldn't resolve host 'www.google.com'
I suppose the DNS server crashed?
I already restarted the VPS 3 times including the DNS Server.
